Question: A loader is used to create a 1:4 (vertical:horizontal) slope for a new embankment. The base of the slope is 10 m wide, and the desired height is 2.5 m. How much horizontal distance will the slope cover?
Answer options: ✅ 10 metres
- 2.5 metres
- 5 metres
- 15 metres
Correct answer: 10 metres
Explanation: A 1:4 slope means for every 1 unit of vertical rise, there are 4 units of horizontal run. With a desired height (vertical rise) of 2.5 metres, the horizontal distance covered would be 2.5 m * 4 = 10 metres. The base width information is extraneous to calculating the horizontal length of the slope itself.
